The game consists of two different types of gameplay:
- One is a typical point’n’click adventure (multiple verbs, inventory, …).
- The other one are fights between star ships.
In the past I’ve used the mouse to steer the ship and fire weapons.
You can (and should) use keyboard shortcuts to efficiently manage the ship (speed) and crew.
You can also pause the game.
Pressing S:
“Raising shields, captain!”
